Complaint·February 13, 2025

While the licensee stated they would check on the child every few minutes, it was found that the child remained in the room crying for approximately 30 minutes. The door to the bedroom cannot be locked, but it was reported that the door was closed with the child inside. The licensee and or/ assistant would check on the child at intervals of about 5 minutes. Although this was done to prevent the child from waking up other children, leaving a child alone in a closed room crying with no supervision violates their personal rights.
